$18,250		$10,590

Spare some money for Paul? He's only going to sleep with a $1,000 consolation prize.

BONUS ROUND:

All but one round belonged to her, but no other prizes yet. We can changing that by giving her one of these:

New Jeep

New Audi
Hunt for some cash ($25,000-$50,000)

...or catch the beast! ($100,000!)

She has her friend in the audience!

She knows how to spin one Wheel, and she'll know how to spin a small one, too. She lands on the C in CASH, and we think she still knows how to solve puzzles.

Bonus Puzzle

LIVING THING

RSTLNE gives her:

LIVING THING

At least it's not a plural. How will CDMI work?

LIVING THING

She solves FICUS before the timer even starts...

...and she's caught the Jeep Liberty worth $24,515! Helen leaves with $42,765 in cash and car!

In the post-game chat, Pat was just about to start, and Vanna wanted to ask if he wants to go to the moon. Someone asked her that! Would he? Yes! Vanna would not. She can't even get on a roller coaster.
